STAFF at Ammanford's Woolworths learnt today the closure of the store had been delayed for one day.
Unless a buyer for the stricken high street chain can be found, the Quay Street store will be among a final batch of 200 Woolies stores across Britain which will shut their doors on Tuesday, January 6.
The firm's administrators say the fact some stores have yet to sell all their stock is the cause of the delay.
A spokesman for Deloitte added another reason was the need for more time to make the "final arrangements".
More than half of Woolworths' 807 stores have already closed for the last time.
Woolworths went into administration in November with debts of £385m.
Deloitte tried but failed to sell the business as a going concern.
It is now continuing negotiations to sell off individual stores.
